Manchester United have reportedly made a mammoth bid to sign Atletico Madrid star Lucas Hernandez. Jose Mourinho was desperate to sign a central defender in the summer transfer window but United’s board refused to pay over the odds for the likes of Harry Maguire, Toby Alderweireld and Jerome Boateng. After a dismal start to the season, with United conceding 14 goals in the Premier League, Mourinho is already looking ahead to January and has spoken with executive vice-chairman about potential targets. According to Spanish outlet Marca, the Red Devils have made a ‘dizzying offer’ for Atleti defender Lucas following his heroics at the 2018 World Cup with France.

Juventus are reportedly weighing up an attempt to sign Felipe Luis from Atletico Madrid at the end of the season. The Brazil international is currently in his second spell with Atleti, having rejoined them from Chelsea during the summer of 2015.
